A brand-new boutique is about to open in downtown Boerne, and we got an early look before the doors officially open. Grumpy Monkey Curio & Gifts is moving into the former Pearl Antler building with boutique clothing, unique gifts, home décor, antiques, gourmet treats, pet accessories, and much more.

The shop officially opens Wednesday, July 15, at 322A S. Main St., bringing another fun shopping destination to the Hill Country Mile. It's a place that's full of personality—and definitely worth adding to your next stroll down Main Street.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Boerne and Kendall County through Thursday, July 16. As of this morning, low water crossings are being closed, and we’d expect more to follow. One rain gauge west of Boerne Lake recorded 4 inches since yesterday. The iPhone weather app says Boerne has recieved 2 inches (not sure where their data comes from).

Residents are encouraged to stay weather aware, avoid flooded roads, and remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown. The City of Boerne is also urging residents to sign up for emergency alerts and watch for updates on road closures and utility impacts as conditions change.
